Thats the word from John Reverol, who opened the shop at 302 Huguenot Street in April 2011. In addition to coffees, cappuccino and something called a dirty chai latte, Mr. Reverol offers 19 types of tea and they are gaining popularity.
None other so much as the guava ginger, which Reverol introduced just last fall.
We go through pounds of the guava ginger every month, Mr. Reverol said.http://www.newrochelledowntown.com/at-r-caf-many-a-customers-cup-of-tea-is-well-teahttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/at-r-caf-many-a-customers-cup-of-tea-is-well-teaTue, 18 Apr 2017 00:00:00 ESTThe Only Mart - Grand Openinghttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/the-only-mart---grand-openinghttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/the-only-mart---grand-openingWed, 01 Feb 2017 00:00:00 ESTNew Library Book Storehttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/new-library-book-storehttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/new-library-book-storeTue, 24 Jan 2017 00:00:00 ESTJumping into the New Year at Skyzone Trampoline Park.http://www.newrochelledowntown.com/jumping-into-the-new-year-at-skyzone-trampoline-parkhttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/jumping-into-the-new-year-at-skyzone-trampoline-parkTue, 24 Jan 2017 00:00:00 ESTThe Return of the Bricks and Mortar Bookstore to Downtown New Rochelle!http://www.newrochelledowntown.com/the-return-of-the-bricks-and-mortar-bookstore-to-downtown-new-rochellehttp://www.newrochelledowntown.com/the-return-of-the-bricks-and-mortar-bookstore-to-downtown-new-rochelleTue, 24 Jan 2017 00:00:00 ESTWestchesters Only Daytime New Years event for Kids, Raises Thousands for Westchester Childrens MuseumFor the 7th year in a row New Roc City hosted a spectacular family event on New Years Eve day for Westchester parents and kids.

The future lofts sit above Talner Jewelers, a longtime city business. Owner Albert Tarantino, a lifelong New Rochelle resident, believes there is a market for the live-and-work lofts he is creating, scheduled to be finished in October. By utilizing loan programs offered by the citys business improvement district (BID), he said, It was a no-brainer to do this. The lofts are the latest in a long line of downtown redevelopment projects spurred by the BIDs various loan programs. One of the reasons were successful is because of the BID, Tarantino said.
